Abstract
A METHOD has been developed in this laboratory which has been found to be superior to the Breed-type smears such as are routinely used for assessing the bacteriological quality of cow's milk. The technique not only stains the bacteria, but also the somatic cells in such a way that the various cell-types may be satisfactorily differentiated and classified. Granular cytoplasmic inclusions which might be released on cell-degeneration are easily distinguished and not mistaken for the coccoid form of microorganisms.
